The thunder came too suddenly. Even though Chen Lin had experience in overcoming thunderbolts, he was still struck dizzy and almost lost consciousness.
Fortunately, the Three Treasures Buddha Dew in his body continued to nourish his body, which allowed him to survive.
However, after being baptized by the thunder, his body began to change. His essence, energy and spirit intertwined and began to condense together.
Seeing this, he immediately practiced the Vajra Body Refining Technique to speed up the process. As long as he could condense and integrate his essence, energy and spirit, he would have completed the first step.
But before he could be happy, the second thunder struck again.
Chen Lin did not dare to be careless. He immediately took out the energy-replenishing pill and swallowed it. Then he roared and performed the Golden Body Transformation. His body instantly swelled up, and he withstood the thunder like a golden giant.
Outside the cave.
At this time everyone knew who the person who was undergoing the tribulation was, and they all showed surprised expressions.
It was no secret that Chen Lin was in the middle stage of foundation building. Everyone wondered how he could suddenly survive the golden elixir thunder tribulation. Some even suspected that Fairy Silver Moon had bestowed him with some extraordinary treasure that enabled his cultivation to leap to the level of golden elixir. They couldn't help but reveal expressions of envy and jealousy.
Only Qin Lingyu looked anxious.
She knew the inside story and also knew that Chen Lin had not prepared any treasures or formations to overcome the tribulation, so she couldn't help but feel very worried.
However, outsiders cannot interfere in the matter of tribulation. Once they interfere, it may affect the success or failure of the tribulation. It will be useless even if she begs the monks around her for help.
unless.
Qin Lingyu glanced in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, hoping that the Silver Fairy would appear.
However, until the third thunder of tribulation fell, there was no sign of the Silver Fairy. This not only disappointed Qin Lingyu, but also puzzled the other cultivators. They suspected that the Silver Fairy was not in the city, otherwise she would not have not come out to see such a big commotion, not to mention that the one undergoing the tribulation was her closed disciple.
It is well known that there are three thunders in the golden elixir tribulation. The last one is silver in color and extremely powerful. Countless people who have attempted to achieve the golden elixir have failed at this stage, and some have even died directly and their souls have been destroyed.
But Chen Lin felt relieved at this moment.
Because he still had a talisman for avoiding disasters given to him by the Silver Fairy. Since he had survived the first two times, it would not be a big problem for him to use this talisman for the last time.
At this moment, he has completed the condensation of the prototype of the Dharmakaya, and he only needs to be baptized by this last thunderbolt, and then he will be successful and become a Jindan-level cultivator with a lifespan of 500 years!
I feel confident and heroic.
With a loud roar, Chen Lin threw out the talisman that the Silver Fairy gave him. After the talisman was activated, a silver light formed above his head, which slowly weakened the calamity thunder by a little. Then he flew into the air and took the initiative to meet the silver calamity thunder!
The golden figure was shrouded in silver light, with arcs of lightning flashing around him. Chen Lin's body was also undergoing a rapid qualitative change.
Finally, at a certain moment, this change reached its extreme. A light golden shadow appeared from Chen Lin's body. Although it was very hazy, it exuded a terrifying pressure.
The lightning arcs around him dissipated in an instant, and at the same time, the calamity clouds in the sky also slowly dissipated.
Done!
Chen Lin felt the earth-shaking changes in his body and the powerful Dharma image, and couldn't help but let out a long roar of excitement.
However, at this moment, he heard a bang, and a storage bag placed next to him suddenly exploded.
He looked to the side in astonishment and saw a pitch-black Buddha statue floating in the air. It was the Buddha statue with the appearance of his previous life!
At this time, the statue had a weird smile on its face, and a ball of black light emerged from the hand that was holding the spell. The black light had infinite suction power, and he felt that the Dharma image and soul that he had just condensed were being pulled out of the body little by little, trying to merge into the black light.
Chen Lin was shocked!
The Dharma image is still good, and even if it is taken away, it can be condensed again. Moreover, the body has undergone a qualitative transformation, and only a portion of the Three Treasures Buddha Dew is needed, and there is no need to overcome the tribulation again.
But once his soul is taken away, he will have nothing!
Chen Lin's face was as gloomy as water. He could never have imagined that this thing that had not behaved abnormally for several years would suddenly attack at this moment and was going to swallow him up directly!
At this moment, he had just survived the tribulation, and his energy and spirit were at their weakest. He was completely unable to fight back, and couldn't even call for help.
A feeling of despair surged in his heart, but he immediately suppressed it and thought of a countermeasure quickly in his mind.
Seeing that his soul and Dharma image were about to leave the body, Chen Lin's eyes showed determination and he prepared to separate his soul.
I would rather suffer damage to my soul than save my life.
But at this moment, a stronger pressure suddenly appeared above, and both he and the Buddha statue were surprised.
Outside.
When the cultivators saw the three thunders end and heard Chen Lin's joyful roar, they were all ready to wait for Chen Lin to come out and congratulate them.
Those who have a better relationship start thinking about what gifts to give, and those who have a worse relationship also think about how to please and restore the relationship.
But everyone soon discovered that the calamity clouds that had originally dispersed had gathered together again, and were even more terrifying than before.
In the blink of an eye, a golden thunderbolt was brewing and struck Chen Lin's cave!
"ah!"
The monks watching from a distance exclaimed at the same time.
"What's going on? There is a fourth lightning strike, and it is golden. Could it be that Elder Chen is going through the Nascent Soul Tribulation?"
This situation made everyone confused. They had never heard of such changes in the golden elixir thunder tribulation.
Qin Lingyu was so frightened that she rushed towards the cave without caring about the danger.
Inside the cave.
As soon as the pressure from above appeared, Chen Lin felt a sense of familiarity and instantly understood something.
He suddenly shouted loudly and quickly performed the secret art of splitting his soul to split it into two. He then merged the one-third that had been pulled out of his body into the Dharma image and actively sent it to the Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue didn't figure out the situation for a moment, but subconsciously felt that something was wrong and wanted to retract the black light.
But it was too late.
At this moment, a golden thunder fell from above the cave, chasing the Dharma image that had merged with Chen Lin's soul to the front of the Buddha statue, and then they collided with the black light ball!
The Buddha statue was instantly blasted into pieces, and along with it, Chen Lin's soul image and the black air inside the statue were all swept away.
The golden light was still strong and blew the entire cave into ruins.
Somewhere in the wilderness.
In a magnificent hall underground.
The hall was empty except for a cushion, on which sat a skinny old monk, with black energy constantly emanating from his body.
Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of black blood with his eyes closed, and opened his eyes in surprise.
"One of them is broken?"
He frowned and took out a black bead. His face twisted as he looked at the dense cracks on it.
It took a long time before he returned to normal. He took out a jar full of liquid and soaked the black beads in it.
After finishing, he did not do any other movements, but slowly closed his eyes again.
Chen Lin was in a coma for three days and three nights.
After waking up, I was in a daze for more than half a month before I slowly recovered.
Even if his soul was very powerful, having one third of it separated had damaged his origin. It would probably not be easy to recover completely.
Even so, he was still extremely grateful. If it weren't for his identity as a time traveler that attracted the fourth golden thunder, he would probably have been swallowed by the strange Buddha by now.
It is true that every sip and every bite is destined by heaven.
"Husband, how do you feel today?" Seeing Chen Lin get up, Qin Lingyu hurried over to support him.
Chen Lin shook his head and said, "It's fine now. Does Master Xuanzhi still go to the store every day to inquire about the situation?"
Qin Lingyu nodded and said angrily, "This monk is so annoying. My husband, you are in such a state, but he still keeps harassing me. If you hadn't forbidden me to touch him, I would have had him killed long ago!"
It was the first time that Chen Lin saw Qin Lingyu with a murderous look on his face. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's not his fault. We had an agreement at the beginning. He provided treasures to help me get promoted. If I succeeded, I would help him do something. It's just that something unexpected happened now. How about this, you go and call the person over, and I'll talk to him."
He is now very wary of the monsters in the Demon-Suppressing Temple, and there is a danger that the other party will transform into a demon at any time, so it is safer to call people to the City Lord's Mansion. There are several layers of large formations here, so even if the other party really transforms into a demon, it can be suppressed at any time.
"Donor Chen, how is your recovery going?"
Master Xuanzhi looked even thinner than the last time they met, as if he had run out of energy and was about to pass away at any moment.
Chen Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Master has seen it too. My soul's origin has been damaged, and my Dharma image has been destroyed by the thunder. I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my promise to you until I sink to the bottom and recover."
Xuan Zhi frowned and asked in confusion, "What on earth did the donor do to attract the golden thunder tribulation?"
Chen Lin smiled bitterly again and said, "If only I had known, I could have made preparations in advance. I didn't even know that there would be a heavenly tribulation when condensing a Dharma image. I was in a very embarrassing situation and almost died."
What he said was all true, and the other party couldn't help but believe it. Moreover, now that the Buddha statue issue had been resolved, there was no need for him to get involved in the Demon Suppression Temple incident. The reason he still met the other party was mainly because he had taken the other party's treasure for nothing. Sorry for being so ruthless.
Xuan Zhi's cultivation was quite deep, and he was only one step away from entering the Vajra Realm. He could sense that what Chen Lin said was true, and a look of sorrow suddenly appeared on his face.
Chen Lin couldn't bear to see this, and said, "Is there really no other way to solve the master's problem except me?"
The world of immortal cultivation is vast and contains countless rare treasures. He doesn't believe that there is any problem that has only one solution.
Xuan Zhi was silent for a while, then suddenly spoke: "Now that things have come to this, we might as well tell Elder Chen directly that the monks in our temple have been attacked by monsters, and we need to activate our temple's treasure to try to purify them, but that treasure requires the Vajra Realm to activate..."
Having said this, his body suddenly paused, and then black energy began to swirl around his body, and his expression became strange.
Upon seeing this, Chen Lin immediately stepped back a long distance, grabbed the token and was about to activate the formation, but he saw that the black energy on the opponent's body quickly dissipated and disappeared in an instant.
Xuan Zhi also had a look of disbelief on his face and stood there in a daze!
Wild.
Inside the underground palace.
The skinny old man looked at the completely shattered black beads in the jar, and his face twisted again.
But after a while he calmed down again and slowly closed his eyes.
